Lake Travis boat rentals with a captain

A captain can simplify a group outing, but captain inclusion, service charges and responsibilities need to be explicit in the quote. Verify your boat, departure and itinerary with the operator.

Choose around the actual boat and departure

Riviera’s Fun Ship and several large party-barge products explicitly include a captain. Hurst Harbor lists independently operated yacht and sailing charters; confirm the arrangements with that company.

  • Is the captain included in the quoted price or charged separately?
  • What credentials, insurance and passenger limit apply to this trip?
  • Which itinerary and swimming stops can conditions permit?
  • What happens if the captain decides weather or lake conditions are unsafe?

Published options to compare

These are operator-published products and charter references, not available boats for your selected date. Unknown details are marked; contact the operator to confirm.

Compare the full quoted cost

Enter amounts from an actual operator quote. Use the total rental amount for your trip, and enter 0 for charges the operator explicitly includes. Leave unknown amounts blank.

Enter a quote to calculate its subtotal.

Some charges remain blank; this is an incomplete subtotal. This worksheet does not request a quote or make a reservation. Refundable deposits and card holds are separate from trip cost; ask how much must be available on your card.

Topjib does not take rental payments or operate these trips. Operators handle reservations, final prices, safety requirements and cancellation decisions. Inclusion does not establish a commercial partnership.
